Syllabus for Comprehensive Exam (Open Book): All topics (Session
Nos. 1 to 32)
Important links and information:
E-learn portal: https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in
Students are expected to visit the E-learn portal on a regular
basis and stay up to date with the latest announcements and deadlines.
Contact sessions: Students should attend the online lectures as
per the schedule provided on the E-learn portal.
Evaluation Guidelines:
1.
EC-1 consists of either two Assignments or
three Quizzes. Students will attempt them through the course pages on the
E-learn portal. Announcements will be made on the portal, in a timely manner.
2.
For Closed Book tests: No books or reference
material of any kind will be permitted.
3.
For Open Book exams: Use of books and any
printed / written reference material (filed or bound) is permitted. However, loose
sheets of paper will not be allowed. Use of calculators is permitted in all
exams. Laptops/Mobiles of any kind are not allowed. Exchange of any material is
not allowed.
4. If a student is unable to appear for the
Regular Test/Exam due to genuine exigencies, the student should follow the
procedure to apply for the Make-Up Test/Exam which will be made available on
the E-learn portal. The Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected
exam centres on the dates to be announced later.
It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be
regular in maintaining the self-study schedule as given in the course hand-out,
attend the online lectures, and take all the prescribed evaluation components
such as Assignment/Quiz, Mid-Semester Test and Comprehensive Exam according to
the evaluation scheme provided in the hand-out.
